Several causes for hot feet and an archive "hot foot" search will give more details: 1.Heater turnoff wire bending--accessible through control panel 2.Hot footwell mod needed--Bentley 19.20 3.Spongy seals on heater doors need replacing 4.Leaky heater from some other cause Mine used to have the seeping heat problem and some insulation helped a lot and intend to do the hot footwell mod. Now it has gently blowing heat and I'm troubleshooting the heater (#4).
